Detroit Tigers outfielder/first baseman Mark Canha is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Cincinnati Reds.

Jorge Polanco Absent On Friday

Seattle Mariners infielder Jorge Polanco is out of the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Mike Yastrzemski Returns On Friday

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mike Yastrzemski (elbow) is back in the starting lineup ahead of Friday's game against the Cleveland Guardians.

Yastrzemski was hit by a pitch on his elbow in the Fourth of July game on Thursday. However, X-rays came back negative, so the 33-year-old left-handed hitter should be considered day-to-day for […]

Jake Fraley Placed On Family Medical Emergency List

The Cincinnati Reds placed outfielder Jake Fraley on the family medical emergency list on Friday and called up first baseman Edwin Rios from the minors in a corresponding move. The Reds also placed catcher Luke Maile (back) on the 10-day injured list with a herniated disc in his back and recalled catcher Austin Wynns from […]

Bobby Miller Won't Start On Regular Rest

Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said that right-hander Bobby Miller won't start on regular rest (four days off) this Sunday for the series finale against the visiting Milwaukee Brewers.

Erik Miller To Serve As Opener Against Cleveland

San Francisco Giants left-hander Erik Miller will serve as the team's opener for Friday's series opener against the hosting Cleveland Guardians. While Miller has been successful as an opener for the Giants this year, it's a bad matchup and he's not going to be in the game long enough to qualify for a win. The […]

Anthony Rendon Set For Live At-Bats This Week

Los Angeles Angels third baseman Anthony Rendon (hamstring) is scheduled for live at-bats against minor-league pitchers on Friday and Saturday at Angel Stadium.
